- Again, set it aside to allow it to dry completely.
- Now grab ALL your sheets of paper and the scissors.
- Cut out a large triangle from your sold colored cardstock, that will fit inside the painted popsicle triangle stick shape. At this point in time you should also cut out a rectangle chimney shape from this sheet of paper.
- Out of the glitter scrapbook paper, cut out a troll hair shape for the roof.
- Out of the kraft colored cardstock, cut out a door shape.
- Out of the white cardstock, cut out one circular window shape.
- Use your Sharpie markers to draw on the details like bricks, doorknobs, window panes etc.
- When done cutting out your various pieces – it’s time to assemble! Grab all your paper pieces, popsicle stick shape and school glue.
- Start off my gluing the triangle paper piece to the back of the painted popsicle stick shape.
- Follow that up with the “troll hair roof” on the top, front area of the popsicle stick shape.
- Go ahead and add the window, door and chimney pieces.
- Finally – add some fun spring and/or troll themed stickers to the popsicle stick troll house shape {like mushrooms, flowers or a rainbow coming from the chimney} to tie it all together.
